Ferdinand Magellan was the first person to lead an expedition around the entire world. In 1519, he and his crew set sail from Spain, went down around around South America, then crossed the Pacific Ocean to the Philippines. There, Magellan was seen by the native Filipinos as a threat and was killed. Still, his crew continued across the Indian Ocean, around Africa, and back to Spain.
